Lose the cutting board

We might be a little too excited about OXO's new tools that let you cut grapes (as well as small tomatoes) easily and quickly – both can save serious time for parents of small children. You simply pop grapes into the little OXO Good Grips Grape and Tomato Cutter ($9.99), press down on the plunger with one hand, and the fruit is quartered. Or to cut up to a cup of grapes or other small fruit at once, try the OXO Good Grips Grape and Small Tomato Slicing Guide ($11.90), which you fill and slice with a serrated knife. We now think of both just like our cherry pitter — gadgets we never knew would be life-changing. The cutter is available at Bed Bath & Beyond; both are available at Williams-Sonoma and at oxo.com.
